Hi Jim

I sort have figured it out, although the way it is set up in the Admin>catalog is confusing.  During the category creation process, it has a separate place for the image as shown in the screen shot. However, I figured out how to use it.  Thank you for your reply.

I don't know how to make it less confusing. 4.2 in the instructions tells you how to do this. There's also a screenshot of the Admin page. Maybe you can suggest an improvement?

Hi Jim,


Is it necessary to have both image upload fields once this contribution is installed ?  I mean, would someone choose to have a different image for the category and the index page ?  



Chris

Yes, this was a requested feature. Of all of the stores I have installed this on, I believe that only one has the same images in both places.

I'm wondering if this addon could be modified to do what I need or if anyone has any ideas:

I need to show a banner image across the top of the product listing whenever a category from the menu is selected...very much like what is here, but image only and on the product pages.

Anyone have ideas?

thanks!

That's not what this Addon was intended to do. I'm not aware of anything that is, but it shouldn't be all that hard to do.

Hi Jim --  Yes, of course you're right

It was actually surprisingly easy to accomplish what I needed.... one line inserted 4 times in index.php.

<IMG SRC="/images/category_banners/<?php echo $cPath ?>.jpg">

I simply have an image for every category/subcategory that is saved with its correct cPath variable and it works perfectly.  Not elegant, but very effective.

Hi Jim

Cheers for the great contribution.

Thanks for this contribution, it is exactly what i need except for one thing. I would like to add this grid to the subcatagories also. On the top catagories, the grid is there but when you click one of the catagories it takes you to the subcatagories in the regular format. If you can tell me how to add this contribution to the subcatagories i would be grateful. I know the subcatagories is about the same without this grid but i want it to keep the same look, and it works better with the design of my site.

Have you any clue as to how this was achieved as I am trying to do the same thing?
appreciate any help.
Cheers Chad

There is another addon to change categories to grid form. I don't remember the name, and I've never used it myself, but others claim that it works. Possibly this one?

Congratulations, you've found a bug. Change Line 72 of that file to:

		  $width = (floor (100 / CATEGORIES_IMAGES_BOX_COLUMNS) );

Sorry for the inconvenience. That's what I get for trying to reuse code and forgetting to change all of the constants.

it this addon compatible with Simple Multiple Images (Unlimited) with Fancy Popups contribution?

[kymation]

This Addon adds its own images to use in the box, so it should be safe to use with any of the multiple images addons.

Hi, I have installed this contribution on my new store and I thought all was well, however just by chance I saw my home page on my sons laptop using Internet Explorer, I only use firefox, and the categories boxes were not showing. They are showing in Firefox. Can someone please tell me why?

I have 2 sites I am currently working on which are classgifts.co.uk and topclassfurniture.co.uk and this is happening with both stores. If someone could look at these via both firefox and IE it would be much appreciated.

Thanks, Michael

Hello I applied the contribution but now I get the following message on my page:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare tep_show_category() (previously declared in /home/mysite/public_html/includes/header.php:229) in /home/mysite/public_html/includes/boxes/categories.php  on line 59

Can someone help me please thanks alot everyone.

Hi Jim

I love this contribution, and thought I had installed it correctly.  However When i come to upload images for the categories, I have the following label instead of English:

Quote

TEXT_CATEGORIES_IMAGE_FRONT

Having said that when i come to edit the category, the label shows perfectly.

Have I done something wrong and if so, what?  Please advise.

Edited by dvharrison, 22 April 2010 - 09:42 AM.

[dvharrison]

I have written the code to rectify this in the admin/includes/languages/english/categories.php file:

Quote

define('TEXT_NEW_CATEGORY_INTRO', 'Please fill out the following information for the new category');
define('TEXT_CATEGORIES_NAME', 'Category Name:');
define('TEXT_CATEGORIES_IMAGE', 'Category Image:');
define('TEXT_CATEGORIES_IMAGE_FRONT', 'Category Front Image:');
define('TEXT_SORT_ORDER', 'Sort Order:');

Hope I weren't the only one to find this!

Both sites work for me in Firefox and IE 8.

tep_show_category() should never be declared in includes/header.php. It shouldn't even be used there. You've made an error in editing that file.
